Don't give it to a place that charges you 10%

Don't pay to spend your own money.

At last check (years ago), you can redeem your coins at Coinstar and get an Amazon gift code without the fee. A good deal if you were going to spend that money anyway. (there are other retailers, too - but none were as broad as Amazon)

double check teh machine before loading up the change. the last time i did the Coinstar at the Shoprite on Marin it did NOT do Amazon

This is correct. Each Coinstar has different output vendors. If you want Amazon you need to check. You can use their website here to find a kiosk near you and check what its options are.
